Fred-

   I'll agree, the show seemed quite well organized, and what I did see of
it was enjoyable.  I got to meet a variety of people from the list, even see
your kermugeony self (^:  You had a few people perpetually with you, so I
didn't get to meet you.  

  I also saw a few people there from other CO shows, and got to talk for a
while.  All in all, a good show, but like I said, the cost was a bit high
just to park the Spitfire on the lot that day, and not participate in the
other events.   I'd go again, just with differing expectations of what I
want out of it.

Greg, I very much disagree with your complete post on VTR 2001, the entire
dialoge is 100% B.S.
VTR 2001 was a very well organized show for everyone to attend and not just
for the travelers, so many fine people from Colorado at the events each day,
and many arriving just for the weekend, yours is the only complaint I have
heard about the convention, maybe you can show up in Red Wing if you just
let the home club know your plans they will hold up every event until you
arrive, this is from just one of the very stuffy people that had a great 5
days in Breckenridge with some very fine stuffy people that made it all
worthwhile.  "FY"
